Biography

This profile is part of the St Helens, Lancashire One Place Study.

Samuel Evanson or Evison was born in about 1804, probably in Cheshire.

Samuel married Elizabeth Hanmer on 5 Aug 1822 in the church of St John the Baptist in Chester, Cheshire. Both were of the local parish, and neither had been married before; Samuel was a butcher. The witnesses were George Manley and Abigail Harrison(?).

No evidence of any children of the marriage has been found.

By June 6th 1841, Samuel and Elizabeth were living in Leather Brewery Lane, Sutton. Samuel was a brewer.

By March 30th 1851, Elizabeth was still married but Samuel wasn't in the household with her when the census was taken. Elizabeth was a grocer; she also had nine lodgers, and her niece Louisa Dawson was also living there and working as a servant, perhaps helping run the lodging house.

Samuel died in 1853, aged 49, and was buried on 2 May 1853 in Whitchurch, Shropshire.
